I am from Austria. A few weeks ago - whilst surfing the waves of the internet - I began to discover something that flipped my life all over at once. I learned about a few pieces of paper and a compassionate man advocating them. Well - needless to say - it was all about the "Constitution of the United States of America" and the "Bill of Rights". I've once learned about them in school, but forgot about it too soon. I forgot about it, because reality did not reflect anything about it in the recent history of the U.S. and because, after all, I was no American. But now I am! I have joined the revolution and it feels like my mind had been lifted by an unknown force. To give it a name - I'd call it "Hope"! Hope - that this world will be a better place to live in, for everyone - regardless of any manmade differences. As Ron puts it so nicely: "Liberty is simple" - all it takes for it to come into reality - is us having courage and faith! But this are tough times. Fear is undermining courage and it is everywhere. Put on the TV, read the papers or just look in the eyes of relatives, friends and neighbours. It's fear staring at you. We have to overcome fear, by starting to believe in ourselves again! I do so now! And all it took was a man from Texas! And I find this somehow ironic, since another Texan is on the verge of tearing my world into a Word War. This must stop and so I join You, my fellow revolutionaries. And I will do everything in my power, to bring others to our band. Whatever it may take! As an Austrian, I feel a strong historic obligation to do so, because by doing so I am able to overcome the long and dark shadows of my ancestors. I'm gratefull and blessed, now that I have found a cause to stand for and nobody will ever be able to take that away from me!
